b) Even though concentrated HCl is stored in the stomach, it will not generally damage the stomach wall. Why ?
Answer:
a) A. Cardiac stomach
B. Pyloric stomach
b) Mucus and bicarbonates present in gastric juice protect the stomach wall.
Question 2.
Complete the equation by filling a1, b1, and c1.
Trypsinogen is activated to trypsin by enterokinase. How chymotrypsinogen is activated to chymotrypsin? (SAY-2010)
Answer:
a) a1) Lactase
b1) galactose
c1) glucose
b) Chymotrypsinogen is converted into chymotrypsin with the help of Trypsin
Question 3.
“The end products of fat digestion are not absorbed directly into the bloodstream’. Justify. (MARCH-2011)
Answer:
The end product of fat digestion (Fatty acids and glycerol) are insoluble in water. So they are not ab-sorbed as such into the blood.
Question 4.
Observe the given diagram and answer the following questions. (MARCH-2012)
a) Identify the duct labelled A and the secretion it pours into the duodenum.
b) Mention two functions of secretion in digestion.
Answer:
a) Common bile duct
b) Emulsification of fat
Question 5.
Is it possible to compare the water vascular system of phylum Echinodermata to circulatory system of man in some aspects? Justify your answer. (SAY-2012)
Answer:
No. It is involved emulsification or the conversion of large fat into fat droplets.
Question 6.
Read the features of cell layers in the wall of human intestine. (SAY-2013)
It consists of circular and longitudinal smooth muscles.

Epithelium with goblet cells to secrete muscus. Identify the cell layers and arrange them from inside to outside as seen in the section of intestine.
Answer:
Mucosa (Innermost layer) → submucosa → Mus- cularis → Serosa (outermost)

Question 9.
Pro-enzyme pepsinogen is a protein digesting enzyme (inactive form) of the human digestive system. (SAY-2014)
